^^^^ Not cool.


Our Rules Located Here

3. Be considerate & professional at all times to other members on the forum.

5. Courteous Criticisms
When critiquing posted photographs, please do it in an adult, considerate and professional manner. Do not insult the photographer or simply state "it sucks" etc. Give a reason as to what you may feel he/she could have done a little differently in order to get better results. Also, feel free to offer some positives about the image itself that you did like, this will inform the photographer what worked well in your opinion. We can all learn a lot from each other here so let's be professional about it. View our Guidelines HERE.



Our Critique Guidelines Located Here

5. Tell The Photographer What You Would Tweak & How
If there are things that you do not like about the photograph don't bluntly say "I hate (fill in the blank).." etc. Tell them what it is that makes the photo less impactful to you, then explain why and then offer up a suggestion as to how to modify it in order to make the photo better. In other words be mindful of how you give your critiques and such in order to help the posting photographer understand more about what your critique is and less about you ripping into them. Those hurtful, blunt, ripping of a photographer does no good in our community whatsoever.

6. Be Respectful
I have asked that photographers that are asking for Constructive Critiques be respectful of those giving the critiques and I also ask that those giving the critiques are respectful of those asking for them. We're all here because we have a passion for photography and its a great gesture in order to help others become better at what they do.

there are those that dont know him and didnt get the humor thus why his post was reported to our mod staff... a simple smiley face would have solved that entirely...

if you dont know the person saying the remarks then basic written word is tough to decipher sarcasm.. adding a simple solves everything.

I understand your concern however I still think this is going a little too far. His first sentence "hidden humor" is followed by his compliment in sentence two. Then in sentence three he finalizes with humor. If sentence two wasn't part of the post I would then agree with you.

when a post is reported by two different people then it needs to be addressed in order to make certain what the intent was...

we dont want members thinking that sort of "man those suck" critique is acceptable...

Simply stunning Andrew.
